Adams Names 5 Women to Top City Hall Posts
The New York Times
Mayor-elect Eric Adams chose Lorraine Grillo, who is overseeing the city’s pandemic-recovery efforts, as his top deputy mayor.
Mayor-elect Eric Adams filled six key posts in his administration on Monday, appointing five women as deputy mayors and naming a departing City Council member from Upper Manhattan as New York City’s next transportation commissioner.
The women chosen by Mr. Adams have substantial leadership experience in both city government and the nonprofit sector, with several having worked in Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration.
“This is going to be my core leadership,” Mr. Adams said at a news conference at Borough Hall in Brooklyn where he introduced the appointees. “And they are going to ensure that we move our city in the right direction.”
